Starting in October 2026 residents of the Hamlets of Silvertip, Aldersyde, Blackie, Cayley and Hawks Landing will have access to new curbside recycling services.
The new program is part of Alberta's Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) system for packaging and paper. Under the EPR system, companies are responsible for funding the recycling of their products once they are used.
Under Alberta's EPR framework, producers (the companies that supply packaging and paper) are responsible for funding and managing the recycling program. This means municipalities and taxpayers will not directly pay for the recycling collection service.
The recycling program will be managed by Circular Materials, a not-for-profit organization committed to building an efficient and effective packaging and paper recycling system across Alberta. Ready. Recycle. Repeat. | Circular Materials
